Description

Lower attenuation than saison yeasts leaves more body and residual sweetness. Wide temperature range provides flavor control—cooler fermentation produces cleaner profile, warmer increases fruity esters.

Perfect for brewers seeking French ale character with moderate attenuation and balanced fruitiness without extreme saison dryness.
